Relocation Services — Public Procurement

Relocation and transport services for public institutions are regularly put out to tender, particularly in connection with agency relocations, building refurbishments and new-builds. The services comprise the planning, execution and follow-up of office moves, including IT relocation, document destruction and furniture assembly. The scope ranges from individual departments to large-scale moves of entire ministries.

• Office move of a federal authority with 500 workstations into a new administrative building
• Move of a city administration during ongoing building refurbishment
• IT relocation including server room migration for a state authority
• Framework agreement for relocation and transport services for a university
• Move of archive materials and document collections of a state archive
• Furniture transport and assembly for the occupation of a new school building

Challenges in tender discovery

Relocation tenders are published under various categories — as transport services, as facility management services or as ancillary services within a construction project. CPV classification is inconsistent, so a purely code-based search is inadequate.

In addition, particularly for large moves, additional services such as IT relocation, document destruction or storage are required, which significantly broaden the requirements placed on the provider.
